Behold the power of sed(1) expressions inside vi(1):

    :%s/distance(\(.*\),\(.*\),\(.*\));/\3 = distance(\1,\2);/cg

changes all instances of

    distance(x,y,z);

into

    z = distance(x,y);

requiring conformation for each change, and preserving spaces between
arguments and so forth.  I'm in the middle of bootstrapping powerpc,
but after that's finished I'll move the distance() calls and bootstrap again.
